Psalmorum 112

1 Alleluja, reversionis Aggæi et Zachariæ. [Beatus vir qui timet Dominum: in mandatis ejus volet nimis.

PRAISE ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.

2 Potens in terra erit semen ejus; generatio rectorum benedicetur.

His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

3 Gloria et divitiæ in domo ejus, et justitia ejus manet in sæculum sæculi.

Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

4 Exortum est in tenebris lumen rectis: misericors, et miserator, et justus.

Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

5 Jucundus homo qui miseretur et commodat; disponet sermones suos in judicio:

A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.

6 quia in æternum non commovebitur.

Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

7 In memoria æterna erit justus; ab auditione mala non timebit. Paratum cor ejus sperare in Domino,

He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.

8 confirmatum est cor ejus; non commovebitur donec despiciat inimicos suos.

His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.

9 Dispersit, dedit pauperibus; justitia ejus manet in sæculum sæculi: cornu ejus exaltabitur in gloria.

He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.

10 Peccator videbit, et irascetur; dentibus suis fremet et tabescet: desiderium peccatorum peribit.]

The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
